Hi all,
I have some data x, which are actualy consisted of numerical
enties. But the
class of this matrix is set to be "factor" by someone else. I used
"class(x)", it turns out to be "factor". So I can not calculate them.
The typical approach is to do:
as.numeric(as.character(x))
How can I turn them into numerical data so that I can apply math
operations
on them? Thanks a lot for your help.
